Nzoia United form and stats

Nzoia United's results here at Sudi Stadium in the Premier League have been very modest with 1 victory, 3 draws and 6 defeats.

With seven home games in a row without a win, the Nzoia United fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Sofapaka game long ago, can be stopped today.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 207 minutes without scoring a league goal. Moriss was the last player to find the net.

The fans are hoping that Nzoia United will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Premier League game against Gor Mahia (placed 1st). In the match before that, Nzoia United hosted Zoo Kericho and drew the game 0-0.
